Afterward, he found no need
to visit me in my dreams.
1:05:23
I gave my offerings to all the dead
of the village.
1:05:43
I had come home, yes.
1:05:47
But home had changed...
1:05:50
...and I would always be in between...
1:05:53
...south, north...
1:05:55
...east, west...
1:05:56
...peace, war...
1:05:59
...Vietnam, America.
1:06:01
It is my fate to be
in between heaven and earth.
1:06:07
When we resist our fate, we suffer.
1:06:10
When we accept it, we are happy.
1:06:14
We have time in abundance, an eternity...
1:06:17
...to repeat our mistakes.
1:06:19
But we need only once
correct our mistake...
1:06:22
...and at last hear the song
of enlightenment...
1:06:25
...with which we can break the chain
of vengeance forever.
1:06:31
In your heart you can hear it now.
1:06:34
It's the song your spirit has been singing
since your birth.
1:06:40
If the monks were right
and nothing happens without cause...
1:06:44
...then the gift of suffering
is to bring us closer to God...
1:06:48
...to teach us to be strong
when we are weak...
1:06:51
...to be brave when we are afraid...
1:06:54
...to be wise in the midst of confusion...
1:06:57
...and to let go of that
which we can no longer hold.
